Mitchieville’s Mad Manic MesmErizing Mystery Movie
There was only one soul that correctly identified the last Mystery Movie Mitchieville (alliteration) hosted, and that one soul goes by the name of Ryan. If your name happens to be Ryan, and I can tell you there are but a handful of Ryan’s that frequent this site, the chances that it was you are pretty good. If your name isn’t Ryan, the chances are terrible. So, if you are the Ryan that correctly identified the mystery movie, you did a great job and deserve praise.
Today’s mystery movie goes all the way back to 1958. Here is how IMDb describes it:
Mexican Narcotics officer Ramon Miguel ‘Mike’ Vargas has to interrupt his honeymoon on the Mexican-US border when an American building contractor is killed after someone places a bomb in his car. He’s killed on the US side of the border but it’s clear that the bomb was planted on the Mexican side. As a result, Vargas delays his return to Mexico City where he has been mounting a case against the Grandi family crime and narcotics syndicate. Police Captain Hank Quinlan is in charge on the US side and he soon has a suspect, a Mexican named Manolo Sanchez. Vargas is soon onto Quinlan and his Sergeant, Pete Menzies, when he catches them planting evidence to convict Sanchez. With his new American wife, Susie, safely tucked away in a hotel on the US side of the border – or so he thinks – he starts to review Quinlan’s earlier cases. While concentrating on the corrupt policeman however, the Grandis have their own plans for Vargas and they start with his wife Susie.
Coincidentally, that’s EXACTLY the way The Mayor described it also.
Famous peoples who starred in this most-excellent flick include: Charlton Heston, Janet Leigh, Orson Welles, and Sargon as the Beaver.
The Mayor got a chance to watch this movie over the weekend and he has to say, it was a good’n. A good’n indeed. Suspenseful, engaging, dramatic – and that’s just The Mayor reading poetry, you should see the actual movie!
The Mayor has been told that the mystery movies have been too easy. Well, this is not an easy movie to guess. If you do guess it, you are a true cinematic connoisseur. And you will not believe this, but I actually spelled connoisseur correctly the first time with no aid from dictionary.com or Google. Public education works, people.

I saw a Youtube clip of Charlton Heston’s gun room, if I could choose an uncle to have in our family, it’d be him, well ok, maybe him and G.Gordon Liddy / O.North but you get the drift… there’s quite a lack of those types in our family and frankly the family lineup to help wash dishes at Christmas Dinner is far too extensive for my tastes.
I give up, the only movie I’ve ever seen from the United States of Mexico is “Like Water for Chocolate” or maybe it was from California, they all spoke spanish and the girls were multiple’s of times more pretty than anything I’ve trolled for here in Cow-Town, Alberta, Canada, so I’m certain this wasn’t written by Atwood. Because “Atwood”. And “pretty”, don’t go in the same sentence. They just don’t. I’m sorry, was “Atwood” the topic last month? My eyes are still sore.

I think I saw that Chocolate Water film. Hot chicks for sure!
No, come to think of it, it was something else. But, I remember there were some hot wetback Mexican-talking chicks in it, and there was water. And chocolate.
Wetback chicks like chocolate. Or, so I’ve been told. I’ve heard the French chicks like chocolate too, and give it up to American soldiers for 1/3 of a bar. But, that’s too much in my book to do it with a chick with longer underarm hair than yours.

WHO is this White Ryan guy,and how come he’s so smart?
The Red Ryan reminds me a lot of the late great “Red Andy”,who has expired for the college football season,to be resurrected in the Spring.
“Yeah,it’s “Touch of Evil” . I was young then, but I though Janet Leigh was HOT!

No way- “Touch of Evil” should have been a compilation of the “Great Knievel Leaps”!

Don, how would you know whether I’ve expired or not? You never come ’round to check on me. Heck, I’ve been typing with both hands over there. Really, I’m using all 9 unoccupied fingers, churnin’ out brilliance.
But you wouldn’t know. ‘Cause you don’t send me flowers…or sing me love songs…you don’t even know me any more.
Sigh…
